Popular Grocery Chain With 57 New Jersey Locations Announces Store Closures

This popular supermarket in the northeastern section of the county opened its first location in New Jersey back in the late 60s.

It was founded nearly 110 years ago in Massachusetts and now sadly, an unspecified amount of "underperforming" stores will close.

We've been hearing about so many stores and restaurants closing lately.

Stop & Shop Announces Store Closures

There are nearly 400 Stop & Shop stores in several states with 57 stores in New Jersey.

NJ.com reports:

“Stop & Shop will make some difficult decisions to close select underperforming store locations to help ensure the long-term health and future growth for our business,” according to a spokesperson.

No word yet on what locations and when the stores will close.

Maybe we'll get lucky in New Jersey and not have to deal with any closures.

I'll keep you posted.
